My boy is 6 years old today!
Warm Up: 3x10 Trunk Rotations; 3x5 Arm Rotations; 3x5 Neck Rotations; 10,8,6 Squats/Push Ups; 7,5,3 Pull Ups
3 rds of 21,15,9 reps for time of:
135lb deadlift
handstand push ups
Total Time: 8 minutes (smokin'!)
Calm Down: stretch.
About a year ago 135 lbs was my 1RM. I can't get over how much I've changed. Years of back spasms and creaky knees have pretty much gone the way of the dodo.
I've not just gotten stronger, mind you, but I've learned how to pay attention to my everyday movement. My left knee used to pop when I sat down. Learning how to squat properly (knees out/ tracking over feet, back arched, chest up) has made that stop and finally eliminated the everyday lower back pain I used to have. The cumulative strain I caused myself from poor form is something I can consciously avoid.
I love this stuff.
